Diversity event on February 22: White Privilege 101

February 13, 2012

Co-sponsored by the MIT Libraries’ Committee on the Promotion of Diversity and Inclusion and the Council on Staff Diversity and Inclusion, White Privilege 101 will uncover how while privilege has evolved, how it persists, and what we can do about it. “Whiteness is a concept that must be defined historically. The power of White privilege has subverted history, perpetuating the lie that Whiteness does not exist nor is it privileged.”

Diversity and Social Justice Advocate Art Munin will present on Wednesday, February 22 from 10am-12pm in the Bartos Theater (E15). Art Munin is the Dean of Students at DePaul University; he has an M.A. in Multicultural Communication from DePaul University and a Ph.D. in Higher Education from Loyola University.
